To ensure the quality of university degrees is one of the key elements of the EHEA. For achieving this, it is essential to establish an Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIC), that facilitates the review, control and improvement of the degrees offered by the institution. Through this system the university collects and analyses periodically all relevant information and promotes improvement actions, thus assuming the leading role that it should has in these processes.
In a second step, the degrees must undergo external evaluations, which supervise the effective implementation of teachings and inform to society about its quality. According to the RD 822/2021, 28 setembrer, which establishes the organization of university education and the procedure for ensuring its quality, this external assessment is carried out through three processes:
- verification, which evaluates the design of the curriculum of a new degree
- monitoring, through which the implementation of a degree is regularly analysed for checking if it is developed properly
- accreditation renewal, stage where it is checked if the project of the verified curriculum has been developed successfully.
The Internal Quality Assurance System Reports (SAIC) that the Universitat de València has introduced in every centre has as a main objective to improve degrees, by facilitating the maximum effectiveness and efficiency of the existing resources through its monitoring and, at the same time, facilitating the accountability to the different groups of interest, as well as the external evaluation agencies (ANECA and AVAP).
